StageFright: Aquarius (1987) Dir: Michele Soavi Avatar CFV 4048 Filmirage CIC Video PAL VHS "In an old obsolete theatre a performance group are rehearsing for their new play "The Horror Musical," a drama inspired by the real life events connected to sadistic mass murderer Irving Wallace. As the group rehearse, they are totally unaware that Irving has escaped the confines of his mental instiution and is about to put some reality into their world of make believe. The slaughtered body of wardrobe mistress is found outside the theatre, devastating the entire cas. Siezing on the murder as an oppotunity to promote his play, the director moves the opening night forward forcing the actors to rehearse that night, all night, by locking them in the theatre. In the panic that follows the key is lost! The entire cast realise that they have to face a night of terror confined in the theatre, knowing that Irving is in there with them, hiding, prowling, sleecting his next victim."
